The tollerances are a lot more sensitive than the older GM motors though. But yeah cars run off of ignition, oxygen, and gasoline. Almost every table relates to those in some way.
You laugh, but remember all of those SRT-4s that were running piggyback tuning through the Gameboy Advanced? They really were tuned through a Nintendo. And you forgot the SELECT before start. Looks like you need to practice your tuning some more! :-P

I know I shouldn't be encouraging the newb... but he has to learn from somewhere.
First, get familiar with the EFI system....
HERE is a good read of how a basic EFI systems works, compared to a carb.
I highly suggest picking up two books, a copy of Maximum Boost and Supercahrged by Corky Bell.
Then read the following;
HP TUNERS FAQ SECTION
HP TUNERS 4 CYL SECTION
Then get a copy of the software and start reading the help files, and getting familiar with the tables.
Then, read though CPIG's tuning guide... found HERE.
From there, read more in depth into the tuning specifics here, and on the HPT forum.
When your ready, get into a stock vehicle and tune it a bit. It's a good place to start, and you can always flash the stock tune back.
When your cool with that, you can slowly step up to bigger things.
